most people are held back or are stuck in their tracks because they believe everything should feel good.

once you accept life is, you can go ahead and do whatever needs to be done, despite how it makes you feel.

we dont have to be ruled by our feelings; we can choose to let our reason guide us.

we have to stop living on auto-pilot and get into the habit of thinking before acting.

stop being shortsighted; realize that the pleasure now (watching tv, partying all night) yields to the pain of regret, shame and lack of advancement. the pain you choose to push through (working on a report late night) leads to pleasure and pride of accomplishment.

Word of encouragement:

Don’t make excuses. In fact we already have the tools to succeed. Those tools are: “A heart to resolve, a head to contrive, and a hand to execute.” (Edward Gibbon, 1737 ~ 1794)
